spanish machines are wierd to say the least

Everything seems to be a case of earning spins on a top board by gambling prizes on the main reels. on the top board you can get pretty good stuff but you have to have a fair few spins.

Never walk away from a machine that has numbers left lit up on the top board as most of the spanish hawks wait for you to leave and if you leave any super spins they'll jump in as you've already done the hard work.

What was the name of that old one, with the dragon theme. That had the trail-to-end feature game, which you started with three lives? And depending how many you had left when, or if, u reached the centre you would win 10,000, 2,500 or 1,000pts? Was everywhere about 6 or 7 years ago. Everywhere i went they had one of them, or one of them next to a rather shit "Escalera" machine. In general spanish machines are shit. I did once witn the 10,000pts from the aforementioned machine tho - that was easy to understand at least.

Paid it out in a funny way though - a series of winning spins of aroun 500pts each, which paid straight out. Rather than chuck a 1,000 coins right at you i suppose. Although you did still end up with a pay out tray filled with 1,000 100pts coins...

Play exactly as pgamblin say's.

Theres Two options........One Euro game -- 80 Euro JP.........Two Euro Game -- 120 Euro JP.

All the time's I have played I have only ever once won the JP from the lower reels, and several times from the top (at the higher stake).

99% of the machines operate and play exactly the same, with the exception of a few JPM's they have -- but they are few and far between.

One Euro game, 71p a spin?!

f*****g hell

[ady]

One Euro game, 71p a spin?!

Fucking hell

lol you are right to be arrghhhh......

Sorry the payouts are the same (80/120) but 1 euro is 5 spins or 2.5 spins higher stake, then i'm normally a little pizzed when i'm there!

[Jamesbond_007838]

Ahh thats better 14.2/28.4p/spin

[barxfan]

One Euro game, 71p a spin?!

Yeah, I'd much rather pay £2 a spin on Slotto and Elvis?

Spanish fruit machines are all basically identical to this one here with the exception of each having different themes. Dozens and dozens of clones but basically a principle of you playing the bottom reels normally. Gain a win combination and either collect, gamble heads or tails 50/50 style, or exchange your win for spins to play on the top game.

The top game is a 5 winline jobby and can only be played by achieving 'Spins'. These come from exchanging wins as mentioned earlier, or you can land special symbols on the winline of the bottom game for single or random spins from 1 to 5. Depending on the symbol of course.

If you run out of money and you have spins remaining, the next player can nick the spins. This is because the spins on the top game cost a credit and cannot be played if the credits reaches zero.

Thats basically it but I'm sure theres a little more to them that I have failed to mention or have not been quite accurate. It was 9 months ago since I was last there and I didn't know the lingo likes.

Off again in 30 days so I'll maybe try to get some pics.

That's one of the machines I refer in another post. Yes, the fruit machines are like this, but have more things. In the lower game the prize are in order: 0,8;1,6;2,4;3,2;4;8;20;80. There are a "bonus" symbol, if you down that symbol to the winline you win a spin in the upper game, but if you down three in the winline you add six instead. In the upper game there are three symbols of a minor prize (4€) in a 5 line system, and three other symbols for the 20, 40 and 80€ Jackpots (20, 80 and 120 in the double game, of course). When you win more than a minor prize, that prizes add together. The major difference is that sometimes "randomly" when you get a single 4€
prize there are a third game (another machines have more than a third game). In the picture machine there are a roulette with prizes from 4 to 120 €. In other the prizes consist into multiply, or random select three prizes and get random one of the three.

Slot machines whith three games (that´s who give 3 prizes and you play selecting one blinded) the prize it gives is the first to show at reel

[jamesb99_1999]

When I went towards the end of last year the prizes had gone up to high jackpots of 150 or 200 Euros (still at 80/100 for lower stake though). Most of the arcades also have accumulative jackpots on the wall as well which are given randomly when somebody wins the jackpot on one of the machines.

It is extremely annoying though the way the Spanish guys just hang about all day jumping on the second a tourist leaves a machine (although to be fair as I wonder around the Spanish arcade I always look for machines that have top spins left in!!).

They have also started with the video slots (look similar to Slotto).
